Seaworld is has a lot of aquariums in the United States and all other the world . Many people in the past want to see and experience life under the sea. Seaworld was ideal place to do this. These locations including place in Orlando, San Diego, and many more. They main attraction is there Orcas which they have the largest population of Orcas than any other competitors. Orcas are killer whale, that they capture which very unethical because they are taking natural habitat which Orcas are dependent on.

Most people today have visited or at least heard of the popular tourist attraction, Seaworld. These tourists may think of it as a place to see marine animals do trick, like killer whales interacting with humans in a fun and entertaining way- but do we ever stop to think about the treatment or feelings of these creatures? After visiting Seaworld and seeing the famous Shamu, the thought of how living in captivity affects the animal had not crossed my mind. After researching I am now extremely concerned with the way these whales are impacted by spending their lives in bathtubs and forced to do tricks for food, all while humans are blindly funding this billion dollar business.

If you have ever been to Seaworld you would have had to go see the Killer whales in fact its one of the top attractions there. Through the eyes of a child, these gentle giants seem to be happy, healthy, and enjoying a playful game with their trainers. The question is are they really happy, do they get treated the right way, and why have there been deaths and injuries. Many people wonder about these things and after the movie Blackfish came out more and more people began to question how well Seaworld treats their animals. “The truth is that Sea World keeps its animals for entertainment and money and helps no one but themselves.”- Animal Legal Defense Fund

SeaWorld is an abbreviation for the full title of the parks which is SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment. It aims to provide an exciting and unique family day out whilst making it enjoyable for both parents and children. The parks’ main attractions aside from the killer whales include dolphins, sea turtles and Californian sea lions to name a few. SeaWorld used to be owned

Imagine a place where you can see your favorite sea animals. Whales, dolphins, sharks, even penguins. Doesn’t that sound like somewhere you would enjoy going? SeaWorld is what comes to most people’s minds when they think of this, but is SeaWorld really that wonderful? Is SeaWorld truly what it’s hyped up to be? SeaWorld claims to be a sanctuary for animals where they keep animals like killer whales safe from the dangers of the world. Well, SeaWorld should really get a dictionary because a “sanctuary” is truly not what they give these animals. Orcas are the main attraction of SeaWorld but they are also one of the animals that suffer the most. Orcas in SeaWorld lifelessly float in their pool with little to no shade from the sun. In the wild,

Stories that were told by former Seaworld employees and by people who were close to those who got killed was personal and heartbreaking, and pulled at the heartstrings of the audience. Those interviews allowed viewers to connect emotionally with what the whales and their trainers had endured. There was also interviews of individuals that were in the audience while the whales were misbehaving from stress leading up to them eventually attacking their trainers. This emotional appeal allows viewers to emphasize with the innocent civilians that were affected by these

SeaWorld is one of the most successful entertainment theme parks in the world due to the impacts they have on communities, jobs, people, and animals. The behind scene actions, court involvements, false information, and unreasonable animal care reveal the dark side of the corporation which is in conflict SeaWorld’s mission.

As a child I remember going to SeaWorld at least once a year. My favorite thing to do there was watching the Shamu show. It touched my heart to see these trainers bonding with such a big whale. I always told myself when I grew up; I wanted to be a trainer for the killer whales. I figured I would have to go study marine biology and the schooling would take years. While researching I found that anyone off the streets can be a trainer for the orcas, all you need to know is how to swim. Even now, having children of my own, I took them to Sea World to see Shamu and watched them enjoy it like I did. Earlier this year I noticed a documentary on Netflix about the killer whales at Sea World, it opened my eyes to a whole new perspective.

The Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center is a local educational center for lovers of marine life. Located on Hutchinson Island in Stuart, it offers educational programs for visitors and manages an abundance of its own research programs. The center also possesses restoration programs that aid in creating healthy costal ecosystems.

One piece of information that I found interesting was in an article called, SeaWorld Exaggerated Its Research Record by David Shiffman and in the article it mentions that “SeaWorld argues that easy access to these animals is an enormous benefit for scientific research that will lead to greater understanding of all orcas, including wild populations. According to Chris Dold, vice-president of SeaWorld veterinary services, “there are limitations to studying these animals in the wild, but controlled environments help us to overcome them. The value of animals in zoological parks is that they are available for controlled science to be conducted with them on their behalf.” I learned that while it is true that we can learn much from scientific research

A number of marine biologists believe the lives of SeaWorld trainers are at risk every day working with the animal’s unpredictable behaviors. No one will know when an orca will unexpectedly take another individual’s life working at SeaWorld. A trainer must have the proper amount of knowledge and skill before going into the waters with a wild animal such as an orca. SeaWorld affirms to the public that their trainers are highly instructed if an incident were to ever occur.

I. SeaWorld is a place known for family fun, entertainment, wildlife conservation, and of course the magnificent killer whale known as Shamu, but in reality, it is a place where corporate executives see only the profit and therefore, the animals have to suffer.

When I was the sophomore, I was selected to join the George Washington Scholar-Athlete Leadership academy and have been part of it for 3 years. I have always

For as long as I can remember, the ocean has been my favorite environment. It 's the only place that I constantly feel at one with the earth and my surroundings. From an early age I always had an idea on what I wanted to pursue as my career. I would read books about the oceanic world below and The Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It wasn 't until I encountered a wild dolphin at Clearwater beach, Florida that I decided to be a marine biologist. The dolphin was so friendly and welcoming, swimming by me and my brother and allowing us to stroke his slimy skin. That experience will stick with me forever and is a huge part of why I want to pursue a career in marine biology.
